I'm not trying to suggest that /all/ code shouldn't be structured; it's all dependent on what you are writing. I have contributed to a decent sized C++ ftpd program (https://github.com/jawr/ebftpd https://github.com/jawr/ebftpd) and it is well structured in my opinion. Go can be well structured too, it just seems to approach it in a different way. As I said before, it's horses for courses.
